While Israeli kills hundreds of hundreds in Gaza, the retired general says the attack will mean “more hostages”, too.

Tel Aviv – For a second night in a row, IsraelRelease Air strikes Through the Gaza Strip, at least 13 people were killed by early Wednesday after more than 400 were killed in the previous day, according to health officials in the Hamas -run Palestinian territories.

The Israeli army said it had targeted a military position in Hamas in the southern pocket area of ​​Massasi, near the border with Egypt. At least two civilians were among those who were killed on Wednesday, according to the Red Crescent.

UNPS, which helps in implementing humanitarian projects, developing and building peace around the world, said on Wednesday that one of its employees was killed in an explosion in the Central Deir Monastery in Gaza.

“Reports indicate that a Unops colleague was killed in a bombing in Deir Ballah. It is understood that the residence of the United Nations is at approximately 11:30 am this morning,” the agency said.

The statement issued by UNOPS came two hours after the Israeli army issued a statement rejected by reports that it had set a “United Nations Complex” in Deir Kalah, and adding an invitation to “media outlets to act with caution regarding unlimited reports.”

The escalating deaths come after Israel has finally ended for two months cease-fire With Hamas before dawn on Tuesday, he resumed large -scale military operations in Gaza and threatened to increase their assault. In a national speech on Tuesday night, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged more strikes to force Hamas to release all 59 hostages in Gaza, still believed that about twenty of them are alive.

On Wednesday, Israel said it had launched a “limited terrestrial operation” in northern Gaza to restore part of a corridor to drink, according to Associated Press.

Even before Israel resumed the military operations, it has stopped all the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, where he drew warnings from relief agencies and United Nations that civilians will endure in an unjustified way for the impasse in talks aimed at extending the ceasefire.

“It will be a blessing if this child passes.”

Dr. Mark Permottter, an American surgeon who was volunteer at Al -Aqsa Hospital in Deir Al -Raheb, north of Gaza, told CBS News on Tuesday that the facility was struggling to deal with the flow of new patients who were injured due to Israel’s attacks, and that the young virostinio was among the worst injuries.

“The level of physical damage that these children get in particular is crazy. Surgeries are composed there from children from 4, 5 and 6 years who suffer from nerve injuries, and the nerves were borrowed from their legs to vaccinate the nerves in their arms.” Israel does not have a problem in the hospital bombing.

Perlmter said, given the complete lack of medical supplies – he even does not have soap to wash his hands – made it impossible to treat some children with serious injuries.

He talked about one boy, who said: “It will be a blessing if this child passes, because of the amount of pain and the amount of destruction in his body-and our ability to deal with it in this place is impossible in a way that is impossible-and there is no place to transfer to him. There is no shock center from the first level.”

Israeli demonstrators condemn Netanyahu’s return to war

The black columns rose along the border fence of Israel with Gaza on Tuesday as a tiring mother, but it is not calming from the Israeli hostage, Matan Zanguker, carrying a smoke box to the sky, which angrily protested against Netanyahu’s resumption of military operations.

“Do not let the Prime Minister and members of his government sacrifice the life of my son Mattan and all other living hostages only to stay in power,” Zangoker, a prominent leader of the protests that occur every week. “We will not give up on you, nor will we allow to return to fighting.”

The terrorists in Hamas kidnapped her 25 -year -old son Kibbutz Nir Oz during the unprecedented massacre on October 7, 2023.

The demonstrations, led by the hostages of the hostages, have exploded throughout Israel since the resumption of strikes in Gaza, where thousands of the Legislative Council of Israel, the Knesset, in Jerusalem and the military headquarters of Israel, Kiria, in Tel Aviv.

“I don’t think they are listening. I don’t think they are listening to the people … for the people they elected.” She said she was “terrified” when Israeli air strikes were re -launched on Gaza nearly two months after a fragile ceasefire. Her hopes fell to more hostages alive.

“I think it’s less likely,” she said, shaking her head. “We have seen it before. I mean, never brought them back. Only the agreements and deals that brought them back. This is the way to move forward.”

National opinion polls are constantly showing the majority of Israelis – 70 % in February survey – The ceasefire plan agreed upon by Israel and Hamas, which was negotiated by the United States, Egypt and Qatar, wants to continue. The second phase of that plan, which should start on the first of March, put the issuance of more hostages in exchange for the full withdrawal of the Israeli army from Gaza.

Israel, with the support of the Trump administration, A student to change these conditions With the end of the first stage of the agreement, Hamas was accused of violating the deal and calling for the extension of the first stage under a new plan attributed to the White House.

Will the Gaza attack will destroy Hamas, or leaves only “more hostages”?

Retired General, Israel, knows a lot about how the Israeli forces work in the Gaza Strip. The Gaza Department led the army during the last major match in the early first decade of the twentieth century, which, although it was abandoned compared to the current war, witnessed severe losses on both sides.

But the 30 -year -old veteran warrior warned that the Israeli army had reached its own to force Hamas to bend to Netanyahu’s will and his right -wing government, which has repeatedly pledged to achieve its declared goal of destroying Hamas.

“You can climb, let’s say, 80 %, 90 % of the destruction of Hamas,” he said. “But this is 10 %, which is the most difficult and most problematic, you cannot achieve militarily.”

It is only a political solution that could bring a permanent peace between Israel and Hamas, and accused Netanyahu of operation “without enough courage to bring some political solutions to the table.”

Ziv said that Netanyahu was stuck with Catch-22: pledge to liberate the remaining hostages safely while at the same time trying to kill the people who are holding them.

Al -Nadaf Shashani, a spokesman for the Israeli Defense Forces, insists that the army is ready to increase the pressure on Hamas, and that doing so would return the remaining hostages to the house.

“We are ready for a different set of plans, including more forces on the ground and a ground operation if necessary,” he told CBS News at a press conference this week. “History shows that military pressure can restore hostages.”

False does not agree to this evaluation.

“We know more than a year now that military pressure does not restore the hostages,” he said. “In some cases, in the other direction – he kills them. He kills the hostages.”

“In my opinion, unfortunately, if we only continue these raids and attacks, I think we will see more hostages.”
